Ian Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 It can have any wheels the previous owner wanted Brembos do fit because they were standard on uk cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nixy Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 they are the wheels my jdm version S came with in 18's with brembos. But as said, it could come with anything the previous owner put on! Have you bought it? If so, why don't you know what its got? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3FIDDYZ Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Havnt seen that many on jap imports but could be wrong.. thought the T came in on 17's too... Anyhow, it could have been imported on aftermarkets and they have been swapped for UK standards... It may not have brembos... Is it a Cab and did you want Auto?

MiKyHuT Posted June 4, 2009 Author Share Posted June 4, 2009 its not a cab. and i do qiute fancy the auto. i fancy some easy laid back driving with abit o fun when i want it =) to be honest. looking at the prices of zeds and how rare they seem to be. If i did want to change to a manual, i doubt id lose much money on this one. just gagging to get behind the wheel of one. and come to the meets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nixy Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 brembos are standard on the S and the ST on the JDM. The T has the luxury pack (leather, heated seats etc) but 17 inch wheels without brembos. But then again you sometimes get more as there's lots of upgrades. Good luck with it! I understand the impulse thing. I bought mine without test driving one!

rich5259 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 welcome to the club As it was only imported last year, I'd check the satnav has been replaced with a UK version as the Japanese one doesn't work in UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiKyHuT Posted June 5, 2009 Author Share Posted June 5, 2009 welcome to the club As it was only imported last year, I'd check the satnav has been replaced with a UK version as the Japanese one doesn't work in UK. cheers yeah, i wouldnt be suprised if it hasnt been replaced to be honest. Il think about changing it to the birdbrain software. i no its much easier to fit a tom tom or something in the cubby but, theres something appealing about a sat nav in the dash that just fits and looks like an optional extra. will have to wait and see. just done a HPI check and that all seems fine. is there anyway i can make sure the milage hasnt been altered?

sunset350z Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 The other thing you'll need to bear in mind is the fact that, if the car was imported after 2006 then it will be in the higher tax bracket, and you'll end up paying 400 quid a year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats gonna be one hell of a drive home Mark cheers soo who is this person who can help with my lights? i wish u hadnt said that because now im lookin at them sayin...yeh, guess i they are abit plain haha. yeh, itl be an expensive drive home..... £50 to get there £100 to get back I look forward to attending some meets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnie Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 £250 for rear LED's The sat nav will be a non usable Jap unit. It won't work in the UK full stop, not even with the Birdview software. You will need to totally rip it out, only the screen may be usable. Make sure the radio works and can tune into the uk stations. No Brembo's but not a massive loss imo. Nice lip spoiler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expensive but what a drive you will have in a new car! Bet you find some of your fave twisties! Agree with what Sarnie said... satnav may be useless but you can get the uk ones to swap out but will cost you about £600, there are other options but the screen is pretty defunkt due to the connectors or you know someone that knows there way around av wiring... Radios can be fixed but the stock stereo is pretty pants (imo) and could do with an upgrade which is pretty painless! And you may have yourself a veilside front lip... it may be a copy but its one of the nicest ones for the zed (again IMO!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
